General Information on Hollows

Hollows are fallen souls. They are souls that were not admitted into the Soul Society by a Shinigami and were not saved from other Hollows. Souls that have a strong grudge or sadness can also become Hollows because they are left alone. The reason these souls are left alone is because they are difficult to perform the Konsoh on. They then either become Hollows themselves or get eaten by other Hollows and become Hollows.

There are two ways a soul can become a Hollow: a Hollow eats the soul or in time the soul will become a Hollow on its own. If a soul is given time to become a Hollow, it will normally take several months. When a fallen soul becomes a Hollow, the hole in their chest open and their Chain of Fate detaches, symbolizing the loss of one?s heart and becoming a chunk of mere instinct. The skull-shaped white mask serves as a shield, which protects the exposed instinct from external damages. The moment the Demi-Hollow (A spirit on the verge of becoming a Hollow) becomes a full-fledged Hollow, it will first disperse and reform at a different location. It will also give out fearsome scream and be in more pain than it was as a Demi-Hollow.

Since the Hollow has lost its heart, it feels an emptiness that they want to fill. In order fill this void, they will first attack their loved ones. However, when a powerful Hollow consumes a soul, that Hollow now controls that soul.

Once a soul becomes a Hollow, it cannot go back to being a soul. It will always be a Hollow. Shinigami exist to not to kill Hollows but to cleanse their soul so they can return to the Soul Society.
